INSIDE MY MIND

INSIDE MY MIND

People with Alzheimer’s aren’t the only ones

Trapped inside their own minds

I think about things I wish I could forget

Things that haunt me all the time

It doesn’t matter if I’m awake or asleep

Alone I fight a battle that I fear I’ll never beat

A life full of trials and illness now, sending me to my knees

I feel as though I’m stuck there forever

Begging someone help me please

But no one understands my pain or frustration

They all think that it’s just me

But I wish not this on anyone, not even my worst enemy

Facing triggers each day that send me to a very dark place

I can’t see a way out, even if it’s right in front of my face

Again I’m at a place I feel God is all I have

But I am afraid He doesn’t want me any more

Because daily I fail Him so bad

Almost daily I want to give up, but I know I can’t

I hang on to the promise that God’s got a plan

Everyone’s got their own life, they have no time for mine

But if you can spare a moment please pray for me

That I’ll break free and leave depression behind
